Once again the dogleg first hole extracted a costly double bogey. Dales needed six shots when he bunkered his drive. Fitzgibbons was out of it when his tee shot made a beeline for south of the Rio Grande...
Alexander hit his drive on the dogleg par-five 18th in A-one position and then burnished a two-iron 30 feet from the pin. He rolled in the putt on the broadloom green for his three...

In this particular case, the snag is apparently occurring along a dogleg bend in the San Andreas Fault in the vicinity of the Palmdale Bulge. There the two huge plates, which normally grind past each other in opposite directions, appear to be locked together, causing a buildup of tremendous strain that eventually must be released in one or more quakes...
